EIGHT GIRLS TAKING PICTURES
OTTO, WHITNEY
A deeply affecting meditation on the lives of women artists, Whitney Otto's vivid novel explores the ambitions,
passions, conflicts and desires of eight female photographers throughout the twentieth century. This spectacular
cast of spirited, larger-than-life women offers wide-ranging insight about the times in which they lived. From San
Francisco to New York, London, Berlin, Buenos Aires, and Rome, Otto spins a magical, romantic tale that
creates a compelling portrait of the history of feminism and of photography. While their circumstances may differ,
the tensions these women experience—from wanting a private life or a public life; passion or security; art or
domesticity; children or creative freedom—are universal. Otto seamlessly weaves together eight breathtaking
vignettes to form a moving and emotionally satisfying novel.
